He was small and round with agile little legs and a magical tail which could turn into a cane, a sword, a fishing rod, or a question mark. During the 1920s, Otto Messmer's cartoon creation, Felix the Cat, was as popular as royalty and movie stars. This collection of vintage toons from 1919 to 1930 includes Felix's debut as a freewheeling cat about town in "Feline Follies"; the baseball comedy "Felix Saves the Day"; a meeting with his peers Chaplin, Fairbanks, Swanson, and DeMille in "Felix in Hollywood"; and the surrealistic "Futuritzy." Seven of the ten cartoons feature music by Jelly Roll Morton with His Trio and with His Red Hot Peppers. The disc also contains rare footage of Messmer at his drawing table.
